Weekend Get-Away

This past weekend we went to Palm Desert and stayed at the Rancho Las Palmas Resort. It is this place geared towards families with a water park and lots of kid friendly stuff. We had the BEST time there and can't wait to go back. We headed to the pool on our first morning there and it was already 90 degrees at 9am! We were very happy with this since San Diego has been unseasonably cool this July and we were in need of some heat! While the kids and I were searching for a good spot to lay our stuff, Dan surprised us and went and reserved us a poolside cabana!! It was such a treat! It was so nice to have our own little area and some room for Denton to roam without worrying about him going into the pool. Not to mention it was nice to have the shade. It got to around 108 degrees, and the cement was on FIRE!

It was so great to play in the water and relax. We went on water slides, lounged in the lazy river, played in the pool and goofed off in the spray zone! I think we spent 7 or 8 hours at the pool that day (Dan and I took turns with Denton back at the room so he could nap) but Riley stayed with it like a champ.

After our exhausting day at the pool, we walked over to the mall across the way called The River. We ate at this yummy BBQ place recommended by my friend at work and it was awesome. The best part was when we walked out the sky was this gorgeous midnight blue color and was so pretty. We only had our cell phones with us so the picture is a bit blurry but pretty nonetheless.

We stayed thru lunch the next morning and then headed home rejuvenated from a well deserved weekend away! We can't wait to go back again!!
